Six leveraged SK Hynix ETFs debut as GraniteShares posts $331 million volume

GraniteShares said its SKUU and SKDD funds led early trading in the new SK Hynix-linked ETF cluster, while Direxion launched SKHL as another 2x daily bull product tied to the chipmaker’s U.S.-listed ADR.

Fact Check
The GraniteShares official release confirms SKUU and SKDD led first-day trading with a combined ~$331.10M, matching the '$331 million volume' and 'SKUU and SKDD led early trading' claims. Direxion's official release confirms SKHL as a 2x daily bull ETF tied to the SK Hynix U.S.-listed ADR. The ProShares SKHU launch and search-referenced additional tickers (SKHX, SKHZ) support a cluster of roughly six leveraged/inverse SK Hynix products across issuers. The only figure not individually itemized in one primary source is the exact 'six' count, but multiple issuers and tickers corroborate the cluster size, so the claim's core specifics are well supported.
Summary

A new cluster of leveraged single-stock ETFs tied to SK Hynix has launched, including six 2x products and at least one inverse fund linked to the South Korean memory-chip maker’s U.S.-listed ADR. GraniteShares said its newly launched SKUU and SKDD ETFs generated about $331.10 million in combined first-day trading volume as of July 14, 2026, with SKUU posting about $180.04 million and SKDD about $151.06 million based on preliminary Bloomberg data. Direxion separately launched the Direxion Daily SK Hynix Bull 2X ETF, SKHL, on July 15, seeking 200% of the daily performance of the SK hynix ADR, SKHY. The launches underscore investor interest in short-term trading vehicles tied to AI-linked semiconductor names, while both issuers said the daily reset leveraged products are intended for active, knowledgeable investors and may perform very differently from the underlying stock over periods longer than one day.
